I recently saw a post on Instagram that used the top portion of the Mighty Acorn Sampler from the book Winds of Autumn on a box. The stitcher had stitched it over one on 28 or 32ct which I knew would be impossible for me. I had recently stitched another piece to fit on the top of one of the wooden jewelry boxes I had purchased several years ago from Hobby Lobby and decided this piece would work perfectly for it. I chose a piece of 25ct Natural Lugana and the called for colors. Once I finished stitching the piece, I laced it onto a piece of matboard with a layer of batting.
I chose to use Folk Art Burnt Sienna to paint the box.
This really is a beautiful finish.
Lovely finishing! I will have to try one on one with 25 lugana someday. So pretty.
Love this gorgeous design and stitch…and your box finish is perfect x 😍
What is your favorite method for attaching your finished piece to the top of your boxes? Thank you so much. I’ve been looking back on all your posts and everything is so pretty.
Love the fall colors of the design and the fabric is a perfect lining for the inside of the box, Pat. Well done!
Would you send me an email as I have a quick question for you?
Beautiful finish!!
It really depends. In the case of the glass top on some boxes, I use acid free double sided tape. If it is a wood or paper mache box, I normally use Allen’s tacky glue. Both seem to work well.
